I don’t know if that’s the case, just usually the secondary cats get bypassed when valves are open so assumed the same for the new filter which is about city use. I have a Euro car old one and brand new one, just saying there is no discernible difference in sound with valves open if anything new one is probably louder but they will no longer allow the software to open them all the time and it’s very quiet at low rpm. Service guy said it was he new filter making it quieter and the reason they won’t do the sound software anymore

Main issue is actually they don’t allow the valves to open at low rpm so back to old days of no sound until you go fast or hard. I’m getting valve controller to override for SVJ, no real difference in sound with valves open assume it bypasses it at that point

Posts video to get a reaction, doesn’t like reaction.

People need to get a life

That did actually cross my mind when I wrote it !

For countries with bad normal roads maybe

Could be caused by stone chips or a bad previous refurb, a lot of the diamond cut & polished and then lacquered wheels seem to do this though

Quite Old news, after a dealer event, egged on by the wannabe you tubers, had done it a couple or times already in very silly locations and was lucky it didn’t end worse. Nice guy got carried away, nor experienced, cold tyres and a bit of stupidity Same event reminded me to never attend public events, one guy got repeatedly called a cunt in front of his small child in a roadster for not revving. General public are not nice and have no respect

Baby wipes, lots of them bring it back to almost new looking, it's just dirt as far as I can tell on my SV that was looking real bad after a lot of miles and dealer tech putting oily/dirty hands all over it at service so spent 5 mins cleaning it with wipes and now it looks great again. Went for leather on J, doesn’t look as cool but nicer to hold if it’s hot, but not much in it really. Would probably do alcantara if doing again.

Not sure if you are looking for comments? Black rockers look better imo if you have shiny black on intakes and splitter as it matches, low down you really can't see carbon unless you bend down. I have black if you want a pic and have pics next to cf as a comparison Personally i would skip the cf centre caps as well you just cant see them I also wouldn't take the travel or light pack as you still get nets behind the seats without and its basically useless. Light pack is personal, i hardly ever use the car at night so not for me Also you cannot see anything inside the engine bay without removing the lid so internal cf details area little wasted imo Only other thing is the perforated leather steering wheel may look slightly odd with the Alcantara. Smooth sort of matches the smooth alcantara better if not going alcantara all around, i googled lots of SV pics before choosing, normally perforated would be my choice though.

Nice, best bit of advice is you can get a massive amount of extra fuel into Aventadors by pulling the fuel nozzle right to the top. Makes a huge difference to how far you can go especially on road trips. It’s nearly 20% extra fuel even when it says its full on the gauge

Talking to a couple of factory engineers recently who were saying all engines basically the same and that they all run 800+ and are then detuned from there

Few more pics, J’s are Blu Nethuns, Rosso Bia, Giallo Tenerife and Verde Alceo, not the best lighting and but you get the gist

Car is amazing, way better than expected, it properly handles and feels like a big go cart, SV I always feel like I’ve been in a fight with it and it might kill me anywhere near it’s limit when I get out, this one I actually feel I am driving it and it does what I want not the other way round! Plan is is to run them a few months together and get a proper feel of them together then sell one, J is undoubtedly better in almost every way. But has more money to lose and new model will be here in th not that distant future and sadly I’m not rich enough or a keen collector so won’t keep them both. SV feels very special and agricultural and mechanical by comparison and I’m emotionally attached to it so will be a hard one.

Not in Western Europe, corsa standard, p zero no cost option, really no road driver will ever get anywhere near the limit of this car though so better to have the longer lasting all weather ones unless you are a track fiend, you would not know the difference on the road.
